Walmart MoneyCard

I always have cashed in my checks in Walmart, and then I saw the Walmart MoneyCard one day and I asked the lady about it. She was like, I could even have my checks deposited on it. So, I grabbed it and got it. I’ve been able to manage just fine with it. It’s been good to me. The only thing I don’t like about it is I can’t pull money off of it. I can, but even when I go to Walmart, I could only pull a $100 at a time off of it or they charge me the $3 fee every time. I thought when the lady told me as long as it’s direct deposit or I got the card, any time I put money on it, it doesn’t charge me. My direct deposit doesn’t charge me, but if I go in and try to load money on to it, they charge a $3 fee. And that’s another thing. I could only do it at Walmart. I can’t do it at any ATM.

Everything's fine with Walmart MoneyCard. I had one problem one time before. I ordered something through the mail, and it wasn't the right item. So, when I sent it back, I gotta wait on the refund but the money never came back. I was out of $300. I also didn't have anybody to talk to as far as customer service to see what was going on. The system wasn't giving me the option. When you call the 800 number as far as talking to somebody about transactions, I didn't have the option to speak with someone or if it did, I didn't hit the right button. I wish there was a person that was accessible to see and tell you what was going on.

Walmart MoneyCard works fine. It was easy to use, the fees are really low on it, and it works anywhere. But automatic withdrawals don't work on it. If you wanna set up automatic withdrawal for car payments or whatever, those seemed to have issues. I’ve had MoneyCard for eight years. I have two cards. I only pay a monthly fee on one of the cards ‘cause I put a portion of my paycheck on there. My fiancé has me hold his bank card because his bank card will bounce and he can’t keep his bank accounts straight. So, what I do is I put a portion on a separate card for him and I don't have a fee on it.

At the time when I couldn't get a bank account due to situations I had in my life and I needed a place for my check to go to as well as to make some online billing easier for me, I learned about Walmart MoneyCard. I've used them off and on for a couple of years, and I've had the the current card I use for over a year now. I have been reloading it at my closest Walmart.

Since I couldn't get an account anywhere else, I went with Walmart Money Card and it's going great. I've been using my MoneyCard for a little over a year so far, and I like the save and unsave option in the app. The only part that's harder is that I can't go to a bank and just withdraw money. There's no way to easily withdraw money. I have to go in public and do cashback, which kinda suck to end up having to spend money to get money out of my account. It doesn't charge me a fee but I have to buy something. And when I have to do cashback at a store, I get charged double to use an ATM because I get charged with the ATM then charged by them as well. The only Walmart near me is far away so I don't get a chance to go there very often, and I don't like that I get charged to use the services at a Walmart.

I made a reservation through Priceline for a hotel using my Walmart Moneycard. They took payment immediately for the cost of the stay. In the end due to an issue with the hotel, Priceline had canceled the reservation and canceled the charge. 2 days later I inquired to WMC as to when the hold for the amount of the reservation would be released. They advised that if they don't get confirmation from Priceline, it could take 7days+2 to expire. I asked why the +2 days. The typical amount of time for a pending charge to expire is 7 days. WMC advised, it is to verify with the merchant. Which still makes no sense.

Updated on 10/29/2020: Today is the 29th and I've yet to receive a call from corporate. No one has reached out with my money or given me any thought or what's the next process. I have rent to pay. I'm a single mother. I got paid on the 26th. They took my money on the 26th. They even gave me case numbers confirmation number but no one has yet to speak to me or talk to me about what's going on. My money was took from a country in Greece. I live in Texas. I don't know what's going on but I don't recommend Walmart MoneyCard to anybody. I don't feel like the customer's information is safe. I think someone is taking people's information in their customer service and giving it to other people. Please don't be a victim of Walmart money card. Scam customer service in their company. They say the customers comes first but no one is yet to reach out to me and this is the fourth day with no response.

I don't understand how they (WALMART MONEY CARD/GREEN DOT) are a financial institution that prides themselves on posting your deposits as soon as they are notified about them but they can't put money back that's in a pending state because the transactions were being denied at the place I was trying to make a on line order from. I have used my debit card to make this same transaction several time since 2017 and have never had this issue before. Customer service reps I have spoke with both times today were completely of NO HELP to me. It's been 3 days with my money just lost in the financial wires and all they can say is have to wait for the transactions to completely post before I can file a dispute. Well that is a problem because the company denied the.

If I could give 0 stars even negative stars I would. Unbelievable. First of all, my current hold time with customer service is 3 hours so far! I have not received my replacement card and have no access to my money to pay bills. I have had an account with Walmart money card over 10 years. My card expired 09/20 and I have requested my replacement card 4 times! Last one was supposed to be here at the latest by 10/04/2020. They said there was no way for me to get card faster than 10 days though I read online that you can for $15.00 extra, if it was offered as an option I would have gladly pay it. But now I think they should pay to send it now.

I am now stranded on the side of the road with no money because GreenDot services put $75 on hold because I paid at a gas pump for $10 worth of gasoline. I called the gasoline company to which they said they did not put $75 on hold. They only try to authorize $1. We called Walmart card services and they tried to blame the merchant to which they were told the merchant can not place money on hold. Only the cardholder services can do this. The man we spoke to did not have anything to tell us except it would no longer be on hold October 23rd. I told them we were traveling and had $0 now. We have no gas and 2 hungry children on the side of the highway because we can’t move without gas. They could care less! DO NOT get this card if you don’t want to be left stranded on the side of the road hundreds of miles from home.
